The penile colour Doppler test, also known as penile Doppler ultrasonography, is an imaging technique that is commonly recommended for men with penile disorders. It is a non-invasive (or minimally invasive) examination that provides a thorough examination of the penile anatomy.
Penile ultrasound and duplex doppler allow for the analysis of arterial and venous blood flow in the erect penis. It also allows for a thorough examination of the corpora cavernosa to detect calcification or scarring within the erectile tissue of the penis.
• This test is frequently used to evaluate pathologic diseases of the penis, including erectile dysfunction, priapism, penile trauma, scarring, deformity, and malignancy. It also aids in determining the reason for erectile dysfunction and inspecting the penis for surgical changes.
• In this procedure, a drug that stimulates penile erection is injected directly into the penis, causing the arteries to dilate and increasing the blood supply to the organ. This will aid in evaluating erection strength, arterial blood flow, and venous outflow.
Radiologist will measure blood flow in the penile artery on both sides of the penis using a small ultrasound probe placed along the shaft of the penis. During this part of the procedure, there is no pain.
A Doppler ultrasound is non-invasive, and the test should be painless. During the penile injection, you may experience brief, mild discomfort. Men may also experience dizziness for a few minutes.
A Penile Ultrasound Test is typically performed in a hospital's radiology department or an outpatient imaging facility. So, for the best services and reliable results, schedule your test at Ganesh Diagnostic in Yamuna Vihar.
